Description
Latin name
Amigrenin
release form
Amigrenin. Coated tablets.
Packing
2 pcs – blister packagings (1) – packs of cardboard.
Pharmacological action of
Antimigraine preparation. A specific selective agonist of serotonin 5HT1B-1D receptors (5-hydroxytryptamine-1-like) located primarily in the smooth muscles of the walls of the blood vessels of the brain. Stimulation of 5HT1 receptors leads to selective narrowing of blood vessels in the carotid artery system and a decrease in the processes of neurogenic inflammation, without having a significant effect on cerebral blood flow. In addition, it has been experimentally established that sumatriptan inhibits trigeminal nerve activity.
It is believed that these effects help to reduce the severity of pain in migraines.
Clinical effect is observed 30 minutes after oral administration of the drug.
Pharmacokinetics
Absorption
When ingested, sumatriptan is rapidly absorbed from the digestive tract, after 45 minutes its concentration in the plasma reaches 70% of max. Absolute bioavailability when administered through presystemic metabolism and incomplete absorption is an average of 14%.
Distribution of
Plasma protein binding is 14-21%.
Metabolism
Biotransformed with the formation of metabolites, the main of which is the indoluxus analogue of sumatriptan.
Excretion of
T1 / 2 is 2 hours. The main metabolite of sumatriptan is excreted mainly in the urine as a free acid or glucuronide conjugate
Indications
Relief of acute migraine attacks, with or without aura.
